Civil Year

Famous quotes containing the words civil and/or year:

    They have been waiting for us in a foetor
    Of vegetable sweat since civil war days,
    Since the gravel-crunching, interminable departure
    Of the expropriated mycologist.
    Derek Mahon (b. 1941)

    The year growing ancient,
    Not yet on summer’s death, nor on the birth
    Of trembling winter, the fairest flowers o’the season
    Are our carnations and streaked gillyvors.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
